Our countdown begins for tomorrow s official Radar Launch Party, the "unofficial" Radar Launch After Party and the Radar After-After-Party in the private room behind the VIP room reserved for the After-Party. We're also gearing up for the super-secret Friday night Radar Launch Party (so secret, it may not even exist.)

So Maer s already got his hair and nails done, have you? No? Go bleach your thirty-something teeth, pronto. And if they give you trouble at the door, remember to say you re "Mr. Roshan s + 1.
